In my experience, most martial arts tests don't require you to actually break the thing you are hitting.

The examiner is just watching to make sure you hit with the correct technique and to hit hard.

She should just focus on that, and not be disappointed if she doesn't break.
Pendency of Cases in India
Are you tired of the lengthy delays and overwhelming backlog of court cases in India? If you or someone you know has experienced the devastating impact of court cases on their property, you understand the urgency of finding a solution.

Today, I'm proud to announce that I have devised a plan that can effectively resolve 4.4 crore pending court cases in India. Our vision is to revolutionise legal proceedings, enabling cases to be resolved within 48 hours from the comfort of one's home.

However, to turn this vision into reality. I need your support to turn this ambitious vision into a reality. I'm seeking investors who are willing to join me in this journey by investing in our pre-seed company.

I'm committed to validating the problem to ensure it's genuinely required and not just a product of tunnel vision. I'll be examining metrics like likes and comments to gauge the significance of this issue. Your feedback and engagement are invaluable in this process.

If you or someone you know is affected by pending legal cases, I urge you to share this post. Together, let's bring positive change and ensure that justice is served swiftly and fairly for every individual in India.

IMO English only is better than nothing, support can always be added later. I live in Finland and guess the probability of translation to Finnish is somewhere on the order of 0.1%. It’s also not really needed since a large majority of people here under the age of 50 speak English pretty well.

I was doing a fair bit of freelance support when Vista came out, so I actually bought a retail copy of it (from a real store, in a box, with a disc!) to install and to use, so that I might actually understand it enough to feel right with charging Real Money to support it semi-efficiently.

It was my experience that it was mostly fine. It had teething problems, as many things do. It had lasting quirks that were frustrating.

But generally, it worked well enough for me -- given other options. I never once said to myself "Self, this particular version of Windows is repugnant and filthy, and I want to go back to Windows XP now!!!"

(...because, as any Win2k fanboy would heartily remind anyone at the least-significent mention: Windows XP was a Skittles-colored turd. But Win2k was really old in computer-years by the time Vista came 'round, so that wasn't very viable either.)

I understand what you mean now. How could we re-establish trust? I'm not asking so you'd buy my product. It really saddens me that you thinks I might be a scammer so I'm willing to show you otherwise. Would you be willing to try my product out, check out the code, make yourself an opinion (for free)? If you like it then just maybe you can decide to pay for it... That'll be up to you.
Faster than TS for a narrow use-set is a fairly low bar. But as you scale it's a bar you have to measure against the available talent from the market. You've got to weigh the cost of a developer who can pick up a completely new framework sight unseen versus the weight of a developer who has documented experience in a platform or technology you're already using. If you go full custom development you can get incredible performance out of literally any language and framework out there. But as your project needs to handle more and more scenarios, the number of developers needed to maintain it reaches a point where you're better off with Off The Shelf software despite it being slower and not specifically suited to your needs.

If you can maintain your Unicorn hiring criteria long term, maybe fully custom stacks are maintainable. For most organizations, they need to move to something that the average hire can maintain going forward. That means big name boring software vendors for the most part.

This is very cool, it's something I wish existed since Llama came out, having to install Ollama + Cuda to get locally working LLM didn't felt right to me when there's all what's needed in the browser. Llamafile solves the first half of the problem, but you still need to install Cuda/ROCm for it to work with GPU acceleration. WebGPU is the way to go if we want to put AI on consumer hardware and break the oligopoly, I just wished it became more broadly available (on Linux, no browser supports it yet)

Hey, I’ve got some expenses to move. Moving costs, taking time off work, etc. How about we help each other. I’ll move out like you want and you kick in $X to help me through the process.
usually 'organization' excludes projects consisting of just one person, and if there are two people working on a project that involves writing code, the cheapest amount of that code for both of them to be familiar with is never zero, though it is often less than 100% of all the code they write. so i don't think that 'not all organizations can afford code reviews' is true, interpreted in the usual way. maybe you can be more specific about the scenario you're thinking of?

All this does is push the lack of definition into “feeling”. Is a nerve cell reacting to stimulus and transmitting an impulse to the brain “feeling”? If so then anything with a nervous system is conscious, but fairly often it’s argued that some secret sauce in the brain is required to “experience” a stimulus rather than simply detecting it and acting on that information.
This has never been a problem for me. Coding guidelines, clang-format and precommit scripts can do this automatically. Also a senior should reject or revert the work of the diva. You shouldn't accept this at all.

IMO it should be illegal to rent private homes for profit. It creates such a toxic cycle. In some places better wages in cities is completely absorbed by rent extraction. And as an area sees economic prosperity, landlords collude to extract it. It also inflates the prices of homes, where a family wanting to live in it has to compete with those that want to rent it out, maybe even turn it into an HMO, yuck.

As a society we should despise landlords and make them feel like the scum they are.

We descended from apes. Before we made the jump, apes presumably still felt pain and pleasure. They just didn’t have the same degree of sophistication when making sense of these sensations.

Our understanding of shared traits among various animal types makes it possible to extrapolate reasonably that what these animals experience is not dissimilar to what we experience in terms of raw sensations.
yeah, at the moment anyway, because if you don't know what the syntax means, you can't tell when the code means something you don't want. that means you can't tell which copilot suggestions to accept and which ones to reject, and you can't debug your code; asking gpt-4 what's wrong with it only goes so far

The criteria they used is phenomenal consciousness, but it doesn't matter what criteria you use because with these gigantic differences in brain sizes it's just not meaningful to compare experiences of any kind.

Moths are not flying around your lamp because they think it's good craic to do so. They do it because their brains and programming are simple and with slightly wrong inputs they will display absurd behaviour. This is just a well-known example but tons more have been observed.

Also, people can’t afford to buy houses in Berkeley or find cheaper rentals because people use housing as an investment vehicle, rent seek off them, prevent more housing from being built to their asset values from declining etc.

Assuming you spend lots of your day at a desk, in just a few related postures, you'd do well to think far more about mobility than you currently seem to be.

Running and lifting are both great, but running is pretty repetitive and uniform and gets moreso the better you get at it. And lifting that most people explore is usually focused on increasing power (and/or bulk) in a just few major muscle groups.

And all that is really great, but if you're feeling achy and stiff, those aren't aimed very well at the problem.

Think about stuff that's more dynamic and varied: dance, pilates, yoga, gymnastics, martial arts, rock climbing, etc. If you take any of those seriously, they all have deep progressions with high skill ceilings that can hold your interest and create the same kind of feedback loop of pride and accomplishment that you probably find in running and lifting already.

If you're near a big city, you might also be able to go a little further into the massage and movement world with practices like rolfing, alexander technique, or feldonkrais. These are more passive and induce less progressive/permanent change, but can provide a radical change to the way you feel.

Meditation can help, too.
> and accountability if experienced employees are approving commits without properly reviewing them.

You’re putting the entire responsibility on senior employees. So we need much more of them. In fact, we don’t need juniors, because we can generate all possible code combinations. After all, it’s the responsibility of the seniors to select which one is correct.

It’s like how hiring was made crap by the “One-click apply” on LinkedIn and all other platforms. Sure it’s easy for thousands of people to apply. Fact is, we offer quite a good job with high salary, and were looking for 5 people. We’ve spent a full year selecting them, because we’ve receive hundreds of irrelevant applications, probably some AI-generated.

It’s no use to flood a filter with crap, hoping that the filter will do better work because it has a lot of input.
Wow. You'd think that they'd cut these software teams that keep reinventing the wheel, rather than the supercharger team.
Not just cheaper but more reliable. Here in New York I lose power several times a year - sometimes for multiple days at a time. In 5 decades I've never lost my gas.
I guess in that case if it were true, it would be unnecessary to give such humans anesthesia. Is that what you mean?
Yes, from the title I have also expected a much more complete explanation about how to hit for a successful tameshi-wari (test of breaking).

In the martial arts there are 5 or 6 traditional rules for how to hit for a maximum effect, and all of them can be explained by modern physics. The most important 3 are the following.

To achieve maximum acceleration, you need maximum force. For maximum force, you need as many muscles as possible to participate in striking. The most powerful muscles are those of the legs, so they must also participate when hitting with the hand, by rotating the hips, whose movement must be transmitted through the abdomen and thorax until the hitting hand.

To achieve maximum final velocity of the hand, the hitting arm must not move like a rigid stick, but like a flexible whip (more accurately like an articulated flail), with a wave propagating along it so that the extremity will achieve a maximum speed, much higher than the speed of the extremity of an arm-length stick that would rotate around the shoulder. For this, all the muscles that do not contribute to the acceleration of the hand must be as relaxed as possible.

To achieve a maximum transfer of energy into the hitting target, it is necessary for the body part used for hitting to have a maximum equivalent mass. For maximum equivalent mass, the ideal is for the entire body to behave as a rigid body. This can be achieved by a contraction of most muscles. So in contrast with the time before the hand reaches the target, when most muscles should be relaxed, during the very short time of the impact most muscles must be contracted. In many Japanese martial arts this is somewhat confusingly explained by some mumbo-jumbo about "kime".

The real benefit of ChatGPT in coding is that it significantly lowers the threshhold for regular people to start learning coding.

A.I. rarely gives a complete solution and even less so the bigger and more complex the code becomes.
The truth is that in the end you will have to learn coding 'for real' because A.I. will only help with a partial solution.

It's terrific for newbies because it makes it so easy to start coding right away and get results with simple and small tasks.
Definitely the opposite in my experience.

Small landlord = much more willing to work with you AND much less likely to screw you over. Lease for a couple years and then 10% raise (while prices in the city go up about 20%).

Big landlord = hey the apartment above you is now an Airbnb; we know about it; and we're going to lie to you about it. Oh and pay us 10% more rent every year or 13 months to live below the motel room (while prices in the city go up a few percent).

> > Yes, rooftop home solar doesn't make a ton of sense at this latitude and especially not adjacent to this much hydro power.

Latitude is inclusive of the surrounding area, not just the city of Seattle.

Also in general when people refer to a city they are also referring to the metro area around it.

Yes, if you are concerned just about greenhouse gas reduction, and if you live in the Seattle city boundaries, then solar is not a meaningful way to make a reduction.

However many people who live in the Seattle Metro area, but outside the city itself, are shocked to learn how dirty PSE's power is.

For those people, getting solar installed might be meaningful.

And again counter to many people's expectations, Seattle does get enough light to make solar somewhat cost effective, especially with net metering in effect.

I am an Uber driver. I'm sure they have the things you describe in some places. Where I am, the app regularly tells me to drive off the side of a bridge because it believes there is an at-grade intersection in a highway. Despite my repeated reports of the issue, it persists. All the Uber maps in my area are at least 1-2 years out of date and are nearly useless for navigation. I pretty much ignore them a lot of the time.

Having a vague, conceptual understanding of a topic is often confused with expertise. Also known as knowing enough to be dangerous.

What worries me is that AI code is getting complicated and harder to correct. I recently noticed that after my IDE generated some code I felt a palpable sense of dread.

I often have to go over it in detail because it makes subtle, hard to catch errors. It pulls me out of my flow. I am starting to dislike that effect and I am certain huge swaths of the (new) coding population will lack the skill and motivation to correct these things (as various earlier comments here show).
